Share application/project and manage permissions

The system allows you to easily share your application/project with both UQ and external team members or administrative staff. There are two access levels (View or Edit), once access is given to an application this will automatically transfer to the project when the application is approved. If access is being given after the application is already approved, it must be applied to both the application and the project separately.

Here are the access levels and the permissions they grant the user:

	Access Level	Permissions
Application	View	User can view the application information, but they cannot start a new amendment, edit an in progress application or submit an application.
Application	Edit	User can start a new amendment, edit an in progress application and submit an application. Only the Chief Investigator (CI) can submit an application.
Project	View	User can view the approved project information, but they will not see the associated milestones and cannot start an adverse event form.
Project	Edit	User can view the approved project information, start an adverse event form, and view and edit milestone forms. Only the CI can submit a milestone or adverse event form.

Note: Team members do not currently get automatic access to applications and this should be granted by the application owner or Chief Investigator (CI) prior to submission.

Enter the email address of the person you wish to share the application with.
- You will see a green 'user found' confirmation if they already have a MyResearch account (UQ staff and students).
- UQ students should be added with their email in the style of sxxxxxx@student.uq.edu.au.
- You can share access with external collaborators/email addresses.

5. Once you press save, the user receives a notification email with a link to your application/project. They will also immediately be able to see the application/project when they log into their own MyResearch account.

If they do not already have a MyResearch account the link will prompt them to register for one (External users only).

Note: UQ users who are prompted to create an account should contact my-research-help@uq.edu.au in the first instance, as the application/project may of been shared with the wrong email alias or they may need a UQ account creating.
